River Bend

1. Late start.

2. Starter acts like you owe him money (second time in a row).

3. Backed up course. Took 3 hours to play 9 holes.

Love River Bend!

I only lost one ball today, so it was a successful outing! Great 9 hole course, which is challenging. Love it.

Great upkeep

Course was kept up very well. Fairways were very smooth and rough was cut to the right length. Friendly staff and great amenities. Want to go every week now.

The staff leaves a lot to be desired. The organization and pace, I am still shaking my head.

The staff is rude, just a bunch of guys, hanging around for free golf. No customer service and the starting attendant, I at a loss for words, rude to all the guest. Never again, would I step foot on this coarse, even for free.

Want to wait around and play slow? Go here!

Our tee time was for to 12:24 and we did not tee off until 1245! This course has only eight minutes between tee times which might be ok if everyone was required to ride in a golf cart but when you have walkers and new golfers this will cause a tremendous back up. This course overbooks which shows they do not respect paying customers time. Our round was over three hours which is unacceptable for only 9 holes.
